Jul 8, 2019 — Travis Schlenk

The decision this board surrounds ultimately brought in Damian Jones. Later outcomes never rewrite the board.

ATL on 2019-07-08: the listed basketball needs were creation, passing, rim pressure. 1 player(s) were publicly on the market, but none had a source linking this team to them. 1 open-market candidate(s) matched at least one listed need. Market access, basketball fit, price, salary route, and legality remain separate.

Why is he here?

Paul George: Paul George was on the public trade market, but no source linked ATL to him. His prior basketball profile addressed one listed need: creation. The minimum outgoing-salary screen was available for a $33,005,556 incoming charge. Exact transaction legality remains withheld without a complete package and exception ledger.

Historical decision board. A public-market player is not presented as a team target without a named team link. Minimum outgoing salary is not exact legality. Missing asking price is not a zero price. Later outcomes do not alter the decision-date board.
